Jeremiah 15

Scofield Reference Notes (1917 edition) (1917)

The notes that made the Scofield Bible famous. They read Scripture through dispensationalism, a framework many Christians do not share: read with discernment.

Verses 6–10

repenting

(See Scofield "Zechariah 8:14")

Verses 11–20

the Lord said

The Remnant, of whom Jeremiah was the representative, are carefully distinguished from the unbelieving mass of the people. The coming captivity, which they must share, for they too have sinned Jeremiah 15:13 though Jehovah's judgment upon the nation, will be but a purifying chastisement to them, and they receive a special promise Jeremiah 15:11. Verses Jeremiah 15:15-18 give the answer of the Remnant to verses Jeremiah 15:11-14. Two things characterize the believing Remnant always-loyal to the word of God, and separation from those who mock at that word Jeremiah 15:16,17 Cf. Revelation 3:8-10.

Verse 21

thee Marg

redeem

thee Remnant.
